makes you wonder what else ppl find

That is awesome.

I saw that on "Penn and Teller tell a lie". It turned out to be true. he gets bits of diamonds as well. He mostly works the jewelry district where people are just walking out with it on their feet.

pretty neat

Thats pretty cool.... I know what I check out next time I am up that way....or...buy a street sweeper.....

Wish I would have thought of that....

some people dont think like we scrappers do... they tend to do stuff the hard way till someone else comes along with a better way to beat them at there own game.

Awesome! Can't believe the gems he found. Wow.

You would need a helluva vacuum cleaner to do that...to me it looked like the guy was kinda cutting at the compacted dirt etc to get to the bottom where the goodies were...not to mention the diamond embedded in gum stuck to the sidewalk for who knows how long

I've heard of folks that go prospecting in mall parking lots and every once in awhile find lost items such as 1 carat diamonds
